وَإِن
كَادُوا
لَيَفْتِنُونَكَ
عَنِ
الَّذِي
أَوْحَيْنَا
إِلَيْكَ
لِتَفْتَرِيَ
عَلَيْنَا
غَيْرَهُ
وَإِذًا
لَّاتَّخَذُوكَ
خَلِيلًا

And their purpose was to tempt thee away from that which We had revealed unto thee, to substitute in our name something quite different; (in that case), behold! they would certainly have made thee (their) friend!
— Abdullah Yusufali
They were about to beguile you from what Allah has revealed to you so that you may fabricate something other than that against Us, whereat they would have befriended you.
